1. A method for determining an estimated travel time, the method comprising:

  • in response to a real-time request to determine an estimated time of travel time for traveling from a first location to a second location corresponding to a time period;

    identifying, via one or more processors, speed information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location;

    identifying, via the one or more processors, distance information associated with traveling from the first location to the second location;

    identifying, via the one or more processors, travel delay information, the travel delay information (a) comprising a value indicative of an average amount of travel delay time per unit of distance, (b) associated with at least one of the first location or the second location, and (c) corresponding to the time period, wherein the value indicative of an average amount of travel delay time per unit of distance is determined from operational data collected from a plurality of vehicles during the time period; and

    determining, via the one or more processors, the estimated time of travel time for traveling from the first location to the second location based at least in part on the speed information, the distance information, and the travel delay information.
